And there were shepherds living out in the fields

nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the

glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were

terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid.

I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all

people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born

to you; he is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:8-11
